Course Description

Want to master the Basics of Hypothesis Testing? This course is carefully designed for students who are struggling with Statistics, for those who are not quantitatively inclined, and complete beginners (newbies!) in Statistics.

After completing this course, you will have a complete understanding of Hypothesis Testing for population means and will be able to easily answer exam-style questions. I teach using intuitive step-by-step explanations and assume students have absolutely no background in Statistics.

In this course, I provide exam-style questions you would expect at the college and university level so you can immediately apply the concepts you've been taught. I then provide a video lecture of me working through the questions step-by-step so you can fully understand how to approach and complete them on your own. Practice exam-style questions are the key to acing your exams!

No prior knowledge in Statistics is required. We start from scratch! Let me know you how bowling with your friend, Sam, teaches us the principles of Hypothesis Testing! It's so easy!

Check out the preview videos and see if you like my style, and Enrol now and ace your Stats course! I guarantee you will have a complete and thorough understand of Hypothesis Testing after taking my course! You'll be teaching your friends in no time! :)

If, for whatever reason, you are not satisfied with my course, no worries! You will get a 100% refund - no questions asked!

So what are you waiting for? Enrol now and learn Statistics the fun (and easiest) way!

Check out this simple and intuitive example of Hypothesis Testing: Taking your mum bowling for her birthday. This lecture will ensure you clearly understand why we conduct this tests and that they are used commonly in everyday life, like seeing whether your best friend is lying to you!

This lecture shows how you already intuitively understand the basics of Hypothesis Testing, and that the remainder of this course is for you to learn these concepts formally and understand the statistical jargon. After this lecture, the hard part is already done :)

Learn how to use the Cumulative Standard Normal Probability Table, otherwise known as the Z-Table. It's easy to use, and it the most common table provided in Statistics textbooks. I'll also cover the 2 most important rules to using the Z-Table!

In this lecture, you will learn:

How to use the Z-Table to calculate probabilities and z critical values

Introduction to the P-Value, and an overview of how it is used in Hypothesis Testing. This is one of the most important concepts in Statistics. Don't worry, I've broken it down into little bite sized digestible pieces :)

It is suggested that you attempt the questions without referring to the solutions initially. If you get stuck, then refer to the solutions and complete the question. The next day, attempt the question again without referring to the solutions.

This is a step-by-step worked example on how to answer a Hypothesis Testing question on the Type 2 error of a test. This procedure is sometimes omitted from Introductory Statistics courses, so be sure to check your course outline to see if it is included.

In this lecture, you will learn:

How to calculate the probability of a Type 2 error and apply it to an exam-style question

The difference between the distribution of the test and the true distribution of sample means

Instructor Biography

Hi everyone! My name is David, and I'm a Udemy instructor for Statistics and Econometrics. I hold a PhD in Finance from the University of New South Wales, Australia, and am currently a Lecturer in Aviation Finance. I absolutely love teaching! I like to break down complex concepts into little bite-sized pieces using simple and often silly stories for my students. The look on their faces from clueless to "ah ha!" is priceless, and means a lot to me.

In particular, I love teaching Statistics and I currently have a Youtube channel ("Quant Concepts") devoted to teaching statistics to newbies and those struggling with the subject. My channel has over 320,000 views and 1,600 subscribers, and is growing rapidly! I also run a Facebook page "freestatshelp" where I assist students with statistics from around the world for free. Come and check it out!

Yup, I'm a nerd.

Apart from teaching, I'm also an active researcher at the university and research in all sorts of stuff. I'm particularly passionate about my following research projects:

* Using microeconomics to improve the way funds are raised for charitable causes,

* Using agent-based modelling to observe how information goes viral on social media, and

* How exposure to technology and the Internet affects children's ability to concentrate.

Once a year, I go to a village in Phang Nga, Thailand, to volunteer and teach English at a disadvantaged (poorly funded) primary school for Burmese students. I would have to say one of the best times of my life is when I was staying in a small village in Thailand (Thai Mueang), teaching English to the Burmese kids, riding my scooter, working out of ym lap top, and just living a simple life.
